Designed for those Guests who would like a limited guided tour with free time to explore Rome at their leisure. The highlight of this tour includes the Colosseum (exterior visit), Roman Forum (exterior visit), Venice Square, the Pantheon (exterior view) and Navona Square. Begin your tour with a leisurely 90-minute drive from the pier in Civitavecchia to Rome. Once in Rome, proceed to the Colosseum, one of the most important monuments of ancient Rome. A masterpiece of classical architecture, the Colosseum is an enormous amphitheater where gladiators, Christians and wild beasts once battled to the death in front of 50,000 spectators. You’ll enjoy the guide’s commentary as you view the Colosseum from the outside and a brief opportunity to take photos. Continue your walk to the Roman Forum where your guide will provide you with a comprehensive commentary from the outside of one of the most important monuments of ancient Rome and a brief opportunity to take photos. You will see the imposing triumphal Arch of Titus, erected in 81 AD by the Emperor Domitian in honor of the victories in battle of his brother and father in Judea and admire the Via Sacra (Sacred Way), the route followed by religious and triumphal processions.
